PROGRAM SUPPORT
Each year Episcopal Charities offers a range of educational and training opportunities to all outreach programs in the Diocese, whether or not they receive an Episcopal Charities grant.
These opportunities leverage the accumulated wisdom and experience of program leaders and professionals from throughout the Diocese, who share their knowledge with colleagues in similar programs, and also of external experts in the program and service areas that Episcopal Charities supports. >learn more
FUND DEVELOPMENT
With only a small endowment, Episcopal Charities must annually raise more than 80% of its revenue from donors. We are proud to say that a small staff, and the active engagement of its board of directors, enable Episcopal Charities to directly allocate 100% of publicly-raised funds to program activities. >online donations
